Thanks.
There's probably better write-ups tbh, think I first read about it in WSC in early 2000s but couldn't find a link |

EFL are voting in June as to whether matchday programmes should no longer be mandatory. They are seen, for some clubs, as a money loser.
If they vote yes, clubs will have to promote the EFL’s sponsorship partners via an alternative media.
TBH, I didn’t realise they were mandatory. But for clubs with a small attendance the cost must be prohibitive.

Who actually buys them anymore, I must confess I tend to do so, but then again its a ) a habit and b) I probably got to 2-3 away games a year and that's it! Always used to be for team sheet, but you can get that online before kick off these days anyway? |

Coincidentally, both Power and Diamandis have made money out of producing programmes for football clubs. Don't know how well the clubs did out of it, but they did quite nicely

Why not integrate the programme fee into the ticket cost?

Because not everyone buys or even wants a program. I certainly don't.

Maybe not but if the wording was along the lines of "free program with every ticket" you'd have the choice to take it or not. Shame Jayo - I thought you were really interested to know what socks Steve White was wearing, under his Town socks at Wembley v Leicester...  |

Back in the day, programs were great to get insight on what clubs and player are up to, etc etc. Now its all over twitter.

I don't think it's the most outrageous thing to suggest that football programmes are dated and probably belong to a bygone era now.
Keep them for cup finals et al.

Middle of the road Egyptian club... After Salah it might be worth looking at Egypt for talent.... we got the wrong Mo in El-Gabas. |

I used to envy your memory, but the fact you remember players like MEG reminds me I'm quite lucky to have partial amnesia. |
